Weight 291

Down two more pounds now.  I was very happy to see that as I haven't been getting all the exercise I should since the weather is still chilly.  Me and cold we don't mix very well at all.  It is starting to warm up some and though it is weird, once the temp starts to move up I get chilled for a little bit till I adjust to the heat not kicking on as much. 

I bought one of the WW calculators today.  I thought I still had an old one that worked but I looked all over the place and couldn't find it.  I need it especially for when I go shopping to easily calculate the points on foods. 

I am really like my leader.  She shared some stuff with us today about the Amish shops and what they carry.  I smelled of several spices she brought and they were great and so were the prices for them.  I am going to make a trip out and get a few things to help with cooking. 

First weigh in

Weight 293

I had my weight in yesterday and I have lost a pound so far.  I didn't expect a big loss because of having the stomach flu a few days before going to join.  I knew I had just got over it and that was weight was down from not eating much for a couple of days.  So all in all I was rather pleased to see it go down. 

This starts week 2 and my hubby is still doing it with me and very motivated.  I will be more motivated once it warms back up a little and I can stand to get outside and do some real walking.  I will find something to exercise while I wait though.  I am thinking about pulling out a couple of DVDs that I have bought to try out.

It is the one thing from them that I think everyone can use in the kitchen.

Weight 289

I stepped on the scales yesterday to find my weight had gone up to 289.  I have been fighting with it and as you see loosing the battle.  The problem is I can try and eat healthy but if I am not tracking what I do then I have way too many "slip ups".  So as of yesterday I went back to weight watchers.  This time however I am doing it online. 

What I like about WW Online is that I can use my iPhone to track my points while I am out eating.  This is very good for me.  I am not sure how I am going to do without the meetings but I am going to check out the boards and see if that helps some.

Still on the move down

Weight 279

I am very glad to see these numbers.  It wasn't too long ago that I was seeing myself reaching near the 300 mark again.  But with watching what I eat and being more active I am slowly seeing the numbers decrease.  It takes a little more work when you deal with PCOS but it can be done.  I think two of the biggest things are that I watch the type of food that I am putting in my body and that I eat so much slower now and therefore eat less.

This summer as allowed me to be active though I could have done with a little less heat.  I am looking forward to fall and with each sign I see I am happier each day.  Walking in the cool autumn air is such a pleasure for me.  I hope we have a beautiful and long season of it before the cold comes.

I am still working on getting things tweaked after the upgrade on the site.  I think I was able to get the type of rss feed it had before working again so that hopefully those of you that read it that will way see my new posts now.

A quick weigh-in post

Weight 281.5
I been at this weight for two weeks now. Since I was losing weight each week I am not surprised that I have a week that it stopped and I am just glad it was a maintain and not a gain. Hopefully next week the scale moves again as I am still watching my potions and getting my exercise.

The first adjustment with my braces was painful for the few days following but it has got much better now. I will try and plan for that kind of thing next time and have soft foods at the ready for a couple of days worth of meals.

I am doing good on the weigh loss front. The best I have done in a while. The braces have slowed down how fast I eat and I have found that I tell when I am getting full without over eating because of this. I am also trying to watch what I eat and get more fruits and veggies in my meals.

I have been doing a lot of walking and hiking also which is helping. Plus I got a part time job working for a ladies gym so that has been great.

As far as the braces it has been going pretty good. I only had to use wax a few days to start with and a couple of times since when I got a cut.

Thanks to all that wrote me. I am going to try and be a little more active here soon. *hugs* to all of you.

Just another day

Weight 296

That is down half a pound. I do need to talk to my leader though because the woman that did my weigh in must have got confused and only counted my total weight lost as that half a pound which doesn't count what I have lost before that. Oh well I will get it fixed.

I am in a complaining mood I think. I am annoyed at the parents that park in front of my house. I am sick of cigarette butts being in my yard...of bottles being in my yard. I would never do that to someone's yard. People just don't respect others these days. I am really looking forward to once we move and get our own place. If i can help it I will never live in front of a school again.....ever ever again. Yea this was brought up cause I had just saw a woman put a cigarette out in my yard. But it doesn't do any good to say anything or get mad....I just need to focus my energy on looking forward to when I live some where that doesn't have people parking and waiting on kids. Click my heels 3 times and go some where else. Don't I wish *sigh*

There are good things going on though. Weather is lovely. I am doing well and keeping a positive outlook for my healthy eating...even with Tuesday having been a bad day mood wise. I managed to do a positive shopping trip and not feel my buggy with crap. It's a good thing...I was proud cause a part of me just wanted to say screw it and put in all the junk but another part of me was like "no way...I am not eating that stuff".

Down 3 pounds....all the walking is paying off. Next thing is I have to go back hard core on keeping my food journal. I had been slacking and half doing it. I know a big problem is sometimes not knowing what the points are on something and finding it frustrating.

Got in a 30 min walk today. It was something I had to push myself through because i was a little uncomfortable doing it. But I know as I build up and the weight drops that it will improve and that it is something I need to do so I can become active like I was before. I loved walking and hiking in the past. And I really miss how active I was and how I felt when I was.

Weight 299.5

I went to my Tuesday night meeting. Talk about a big different in what I weigh in the morning before food as to what I weigh in the evening after 3 full meals and some snacks. I think the night meetings are going to work much better for me and I am fine with difference in the weight...it will just be the one big change and next week stuff will be showing up like normal.

I feel like I am getting a sore throat...hope I am not getting sick. Not what caused it just came on all of a sudden about 30 minutes ago.

Let the sun shine

Weight 291

The week before was another 289.5 to have a maintain. This was the bloat week weigh-in so I am not letting it get to me. I also missed a couple days of journaling but am back at it now and that is what matters.

The sun is trying to shine today. I NEED this sunshine so much...I have felt so down the last few days with all the rain. I know we need the rain after last years drought but it sure was killing my mood to not have any sun at all. The improved mood is helping me to get little projects done all around the house.

I got some updating done to my blogroll last week. I still have a few non health blogs to get listed but I may make a separate list for non health ones. There are lots of things I would like to get done while I am doing my job hunting. Making use of the time off till I find a good job.

I do want to update the software on this blog sometime. I am just a little bit nervous about how that will go. Don't want to kill my whole sight. I will back up what I can and then do it.
